Dizziness is the sensation of instability. Vertigo refers to dizziness with a sensation of motion. Vertigo is more likely than other types of dizziness to be associated with nausea, vomiting, or double vision, to occur even when lying down, and to feel better with the eyes closed.

MRI normal!

OK, I had an MRI yesterday and it was normal, so I am relieved.....but wondering at the same time about these other weird symptoms. Like with my eyes and then being jittery and panicky. I am going to my family dr in the morning for bloodwork and a referral to a neurologist. Any words of wisdom from any of you who have BTDT? I might look in the yellow pages for one of those neuro otologists....not sure. I don't know what kind of bloodwork they might do. I had a CBC done already. At least I know I don't have a brain tumor or MS. I am so thankful.

YAYYY!!! Yeah all those symptoms unfortunately is all related to the vertigo. Your nerves are bad from the spinning. The vertigo is in you brain so in return your brain is having those crazy side effects. I am no doctor and they would better explain it to you...I have heard of too many of us experiencing the SAME symptoms so its obvious its related to the vertigo.

Whoo Hoo!! That is great news Laura!! Keep digging sweetie for some answers and a diagnoses.

Laura the 'jittery eyes' as you call them are symptoms alot of us Menieres patients experience. We get them while driving, being on the computer for prolonged periods of time or even reading. It's best you see a neuroTologist.. good luck... hope your jumpy eyes quit.. mine were doing it this morning but then again it DID start to rain and the barometric pressure changed so there YA GO!!!.

No, there is no MS in the family. I think it was a long shot, but he wanted to be sure with the MRI. However, I was still worried sick while I waited for the results.

I went to the dr yesterday and she said I was having panic attacks and gave me some Valium. I wasn't jittery and upset and panicky yesterday so I didn't take any. For the first day in a couple of weeks, I was not jittery AT ALL!!! I couldn't believe it. I was only dizzy once. It lasted maybe an hour. This is the best day I've had. I was wondering if I'd ever feel good again. Who knows how I'll be tomorrow? But I am optimistic and encouraged.......

So did you take the Valium then? You think that is what helped you feel good? If so, then that is good. I went through a time when I had anxiety, espectially during work when I had meetings. My doctor gave me inderol and it did help, but I did not want to get used to taking it every day. I don't remember the last time I took any. Hope you feel better now and it lasts!

I have not taken any valium yet. Fri-Mon I was not anxious and actually felt good. Now, I feel like it's coming back so I may wind up taking some. I don't want to risk addiction so I would cut it in half. Also, I don't want to get sleepy during the day. Too much to do!

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...

So my daughter, who will be 30 in a few months, says she thinks she has varicose veins, as she can't figure out what else it could be. Only in one leg, and is so bad it is hard to sleep at night. She is in excellent shape, really exercises a lot, and eats well... not at all overweight. Anyone else have any issues with this? I did find that it can go with PKD. She was reading that there are...
